Who's next for Ryder?

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

So, now that our broski has won the title, what's next for him? Considering how the announcers were selling his title win Cena style yesterday(Lawler literally said "That would have beat an ordinary man...but not Zack Ryder!") I think it's gonna be Mason Ryan.

Ryder will OVERCOME THE ODDS to defend the title against Mason Ryan, then Brodus will squash Ryan, then Ryder will OVERCOME THE ODDS to defeat Brodus, then he'll keep OVERCOMING THE ODDS until they take the title off him via heel finish.

...Alternatively Brodus squashes the title out of him today on raw but I hope that doesn't happen.

You know, it's kinda too bad that the Cena-Rock match is set in stone for WrestleMania, because a drawn out John Cena-Zack Ryder break-up/feud/WM blow-off match could be pretty awesome.

Jack Swagger. Dolph will claim he was above the US Title anyway and make it his new aim to become WWE Champion.

how about Drew McIntyre?

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Laurinaitis.

Poor Zack will be screwed out of the title and wished well in his future endevours, he will continue his webshow and make sporadic appearences, there will be many "We want Ryder" chants.

Then John Laurinaitis will turn his attention to Punk and maybe Bryan for not being the sort of people corporate want to represent WWE, Ace then brings back Jericho to win the rumble and get the belt off Punk at WM.

What I was thinking/am hoping for

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

I'd actually mark for a Laurinaitis vs Ryder feud because I can totally see Ryder riding a skateboard down the ramp to "stand in even ground" or whatever.

...Now that I think about it Johnny Ace's totally radical character and Ryder are...kind of similar aren't they? Not that I know much about Johnny Ace.

[The Man That Sanity Forgot]

Not really a feud, but I wouldn't mind seeing Ryder v Cena on a Raw, only for the match to go to a DQ finish because Kane comes down and destroys Cena again.

Ignite feud between Kane and Cena, and with Cena gunning for the US title, giving that a HUGE boost.

Obviously, Cena should REQUEST a match with Ryder for it, not just be put in one. If Cena actually wants a shot at the it, imagine what it would do for the title. And in the end, Ryder still has the title, the US title has somewhat of a boost, and Kane gets to destroy Cena. Win win win.

Drew McIntyre!

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I would say Swagger but Ryder's beaten him plenty of times in recent weeks.

I'm gonna guess at David Otunga. Makes sense with him been Laurinitis' lackey and, Otunga can job a few times to Zack without it effecting him too much (Unlike if say, ADR or Miz dropped down to the US title level)

Man, I've just realised that Raw's midcard is seriously lacking in credible heels. There's Swagger & Ziggler and that's it, and Ziggler is on the edge of main event as it is.

I didn't realize Jim Neidhart was still active. I'm going to love this feud!
